Let me think...waste my time going around town to buy a club that disintegrates after a few rips when I could have put a meal on the table for my family or had a few pints on monday night football with some friends...Sorry we cannot all burn currency like its the holocaust...fool

Actually I had enough of this forum...over-saturated with grumpy folks...no class. This will be my last post.

Can't really tell from the photos, it does look to be a several years old model and that is probably why it was only $20. If you hit it good and enjoy having it in your bag then you should keep it, thats my opinion anyway. Good luck.

Probably best. If you’re gonna have concern that spending $20 on golf may have robbed your family of food or beer with your friends ...golf ain’t for you.

It’s 10-11 years old. Came out in 2007 roughly but assuming original shaft is on it....Callaway or not...can’t expect it to be an amazing peice of equipment regardless of its authenticity.

If it works , use it. Brand new drivers don’t have a yard more potential. 460 cc, 860 COR is as hot as it gets. No such thing as a fake driver. Brand names don’t hit the ball, that’s why they put them on the bottom.

concur with many above. $20 or $200 does not really make a difference if it achieves results. Drivers do not really lose their effectiveness after even scores of hits. A twenty year old club will hit a ball just as far today as it did when  brand new unless it had some serious damage or was deformed in some way.  Granted "some" of modern day technology has brought improvements or might be more forgiving, but one can get a top of the line club for less than half it's original price as soon  as 3 or 4 years later.  I am just as guilty as any having three drivers without any significant differences. ( of course it is all on me, not the equipment). Just for fun, took my Persimmon driver the other day and got some really nice drives after my normal driver got ornery on me.

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon

      It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
